I've dropped the ball on describing some of the places I shop regularly for basics like groceries, medical supplies, and so on. Tonight, I present the bookshop where we get school supplies, have items scanned/faxed/copied (particularly in volume...we have a low-budget printer in the house, but copies and scans are slow, and I've never figured out the fax), buy wrapping paper, and more.

Sergio runs the copier |

Behind Sergio are all the notebooks, erasers, binder covers, and so on |
Welcome to Sergio's place. Tucked into the alley and built into the foundations of the Duomo, Sergio is a local character who is known for his moodiness. On bad days, you might get a grunt. But on good days? There's no one more smiley or liable to burst into song as he walks through the piazza. A kindly soul, and well loved here in town.

The children's section |
His shop is crammed from top to bottom with a variety of office supplies, tourist items, books, specialty pens, calendars, packing materials, and more. When closed, it looks like a few barn doors in a wall...as is usual here, there are no exterior signs.
Love,
Alexandra
